Yesterday we had a fabulous day out in Northern Dartmoor - we hiked from Castle Drogo to Fingle Bridge, a 17th century stone arch bridge over the River Teign. While we had a quiet walk along the hills and woods from Castle Drogo, Fingle Bridge was quite busy and seems to be a very popular weekend destination. That is no real surprise as the woodlands lining the river are stunning. Before we headed back I spotted some interesting looking roots next to a little stream that flows into the river Teign. It's one of those locations which are surprisingly pretty from a particular viewpoint - if you can look past all the parked cars and make your way down to the water. I quickly snapped this photo before the stench of the dog poo bags which some lazy and irresponsible dog-owner simply dumped behind a tree drove us away.
Come on people, it's not that hard to put those bags into a bin!! It's worse to dump the plastic bag with it's contents in the wild instead of letting the dog simply poo in the woods!

I wish the sky were prettier. I wish the ground were dry for a side-on shot. I wish I hadn't fallen into a hole, cut my arm, and needed help to get out. I wish the cow was full of milk. I wish the walls were full of gold. I wish a lot of things

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated.
Architectural detail of the West Stand at Jan Breydel Stadium in Bruges. The low-angle perspective emphasizes the strength of the exposed concrete, the repetitive rhythm of the metal cladding and the interaction between industrial materials and the blue sky. A graphic and almost brutalist interpretation of sporting architecture.
Détail architectural de la tribune Ouest du Stade Jan Breydel à Bruges. La contre-plongée met en valeur la puissance structurelle du béton apparent, les lignes répétitives du bardage métallique et le dialogue entre les matériaux industriels et le ciel bleu. Une vision graphique et presque brutaliste de l'architecture sportive.
For the "Crazy Tuesday" group theme "Low Angle". Ultra-wide looking up from the ground between trees, taken with a 360° camera
Late in the afternoon, the angle of the sun over the Strip was still flattening the shadows, so I chose a tight low-angle shot to eliminate everything except the intersection of the scaly roof and the glass tower. The air was dry, heavy with the heat trapped by the asphalt, and the noise of the city sounded muffled from this vantage point. I raised the camera, framed the shot diagonally, and pressed the shutter before a passerby crossed the frame—the whole process took only a few seconds. The flat white of the sky imposed itself as the only possible response to this architecture of glass and metal. Two forms, a void between them.
St Pauls reflection from a low angle. A classic shot but I always wanted to have an image from this location.

Sad to see Mexico go out despite that great second half performance
Siouxsie And The Banshees - Shadowtime
South Georgia is a remote and inhospitable island, 864 miles from the Falklands. Rising steeply from the sea, South Georgia is rugged and mountainous, and home to over 100,000 king penguins.
The king penguin is the second largest species of penguin. In size it is second only to the emperor penguin. An adult king penguin stands at 70 to 100 cm (28 to 39 in) tall and weighs from 9.3 to 18 kg (21 to 40 lb). The chicks are completely covered in brown feathers and they often live in group with other chicks, a so called creche. These youngsters are particularly curious, which is great for photography.
There are very few places on this planet where the wildlife is not afraid of people, and this is by far the most impressive one. South Georgia is covered in wildlife, and it’s all extremely relaxed. The reason for this is that people have not hunted here and have not fed the wildlife here. These are the two main causes for a disturbed relationship between wildlife and humans. Tourism to South Georgia is highly regulated, and this is a good thing. Mankind has a tendency to f*** up nature wherever they go, so we should cherish places like this and protect it from the destructive powers of homo sapiens.
To walk around here is nothing short of spectacular. When we got close to a large penguin rookery, I simply lay down flat on my stomach and the wildlife was coming to me. A welcome change for a wildlife photographer. This young king penguin chick was very curious and came close enough for me to use my 14-24.

Found in the forest, when I was walking with my dog. It grew just by the path :)
The birch bolete (Leccinum scabrum), commonly known also as the rough-stemmed bolete or scaber stalk, is an edible mushroom in the family Boletaceae. The birch bolete is widespread in Europe, in the Himalayas in Asia, and elsewhere in the Northern Hemisphere, occurring only in mycorrhizal association with birch trees. It fruits from June to October. This mushroom is also becoming increasingly common in Australia and New Zealand where it is likely introduced. Leccinum scabrum is found in mycorrhiza with birch trees. The birch bolete is edible and is especially enjoyable pickled in brine or vinegar. It is used also in mixed mushroom dishes, fried or steamed.

Pierwszy grzybek znaleziony w tym roku, podczas spaceru z psicą po lesie. Rósł prawie na ścieżce, więc nie dało się go nie zauważyć :)
Koźlarz babka (Leccinum scabrum) – gatunek grzybów z rodziny borowikowatych. Występuje na całej półkuli północnej. Na Półwyspie Skandynawskim sięga po 66o szerokości geograficznej. Na półkuli południowej podano jego występowanie tylko w Australii i Nowej Zelandii. W Europie Środkowej jest pospolity. Również w Polsce występuje pospolicie od lata do jesieni. Rośnie na ziemi, w liściastych oraz mieszanych, często także poza lasem. Rośnie wyłącznie pod brzozami, tworzy bowiem z nimi mikoryzę.
I would've liked to have spent much more time exploring New Mexico during my trip to California. We arrived in Amarillo Texas at about 2AM the previous night, before getting a room at 4AM at a disgusting motel. The area wasn't as dog friendly as I expected. The next morning brought in colder temperatures, increased winds and and scattered showers.
I tried to pull over whenever I got a chance but winds over 40mph in freezing temperatures just isn't all that easy to deal with. We hovered around Rt 66 and I-40 since it seemed like the sky would open at any second but I wanted to explore some. By late afternoon, the dark skies basically smothered the remaining bit of sunlight and it seemed pretty clear I was running out of time to shoot since the winds forced me to use extremely quick shutter speeds.
Within an hour or so of leaving this road, it began to snow. The winds would push this snow between either side of the road making conditions extremely tough. The car would drift with very little visibility and I had to maintain 75mph to keep up with the others who didn't seem to care about the weather. It didn't take me long to decide to get off in Gallup for the evening. Scotch and I finally got a good night sleep.

This barn and valley taunts me from my office window every morning. The frost on everything today was just too much to miss!
